Telanetix, Inc. has announced an agreement to supply its Digital Presence, a telepresence platform, to IT infrastructure provider SAVVIS (News - Alert).

 

With main focus on the financial services industry, SAVVIS currently maintains its IT Platform across North America, Europe, and Asia. And, this agreement is said to be the company’s first installation of Digital Presence, connecting its St. Louis headquarters to its London location.

 

SAVVIS officials said that they have designed with Telanetix, the high-bandwidth network services required to obtain the full value of the Telanetix Telepresence (News - Alert) system.

 

“We've been very impressed with the feature set that Digital Presence has offered our company,” said Ron Dobes, vice president and general manager of Network Products and Services at SAVVIS.

 

He also said that by working with Telanetix (News - Alert), his company has created an environment where the teams in St. Louis will be able to work more seamlessly with the London team, using familiar everyday tools and workflow.

 

“This not only leads to increased productivity, but also a decrease in monies otherwise spent coordinating those efforts beforehand,” Dobes added.

 

Doug Johnson, president and CEO at Telanetix, commented “A multisite enterprise such as SAVVIS clearly depends on the interoffice productivity that our telepresence offering can provide. The SAVVIS decision represents another validation of the value of our solution in this growing portion of the business communications marketplace.”

 

Telanetix is a communications solutions provider offering telepresence and voice over IP (VoIP) services to all business market segments. The company’s telepresence solution, called Digital Presence, creates fully-immersive and interactive meeting environments that incorporate voice, video and data from multiple locations into a single environment.

 

The company’s voice offerings, marketed under the “AccessLine” brand, provide companies’ calling solutions.

 

Earlier this month, the company launched a new product with Costco Wholesale, a national and international operator of membership warehouse. The AccessLine Division of Telanetix offers a combined business phone service and business phone system package to Costco's Membership, targeted at members running small businesses with five or fewer employees.
